SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,647, dated December17, 1889.

Application filed February 12, 1889. Serial No. 299,667. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, PETER M. KLING, of the city of St. Louis, in theState of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inStreet-Car-Window Sashes, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, and in which Figure I is anelevation illustrative of my improvement. Fig. II is a transversesection.

taken on the line II II, Fig. III; and Fig. III

is an enlarged detail View of one side of the sash.

My invention relates to an improved means of securing the panes of glassin a streetcar window; and my invention consists in features of noveltyhereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents one of the panes of glass of acar-window, and 2 represents the stiles. The stile at each side of thepane is composed of an angle plate or bar 3, forming one side and theback.

4 represents a plain plate that joins with the outer edge of the-backportion of the angle plate and completes the socket or. groove thatreceives a strip or block 5 of wood or other suitable material.

6 represents connecting-screws that join the plates together, and whichpass through the blocks or strips 5. One edge of the strip 5 is beveledoff, as shown at 7. The pane of glass 1 is provided with side linings orborders 8, preferably composed of rubber. These fit between the plates 3and 4, as shown in Fig. II; and it will be seen that by tightening onthe screws 6 the panes may be firmly clasped between the plates, theinclined face 7 allowing the outer edges of the plate to be pressedfirmly against the linings S. \Vith this improved constructionanydesired pressure may be obtained and the panes or glasses be heldfirmly in their sockets.

I claim as my invention 1. The combination, in a street-car-window sash,of the panes 1, having linings 8, and the stiles consisting of plates 3and 4, connecting-screws 6, and beveled strips 5, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

2. The combination, in a streetcar-window sash, of the panes 1, havinglinings 8, angleplates 3, plain plates 4, connecting-screws 6, andstrips 5, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
